In the not so distant past, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions were introduced as one of the essentials of enterprise security management. Since then, more organizations have effectively utilized MDM to secure their mobile devices- BYOD. But significant deployment and adoption challenges of MDM have compelled organizations to think beyond the requirement of software agents in controlling every device that upsets user experience and invades employee privacy. To help businesses procure security for their cloud, Bitglass-a Campbell, CA based firm provides SaaS security solution intended for enterprise customers. whose data is stored in the cloud and on mobile devices. This data includes data from the personal devices which can be accessed through corporate BYOD programs. "The invasion of privacy by MDM is a key reason that there are two billion mobile devices on the planet, but only a few million devices are managed by MDM,"says Nat Kausik, CEO of Bitglass."IT leaders looking to enable BYOD must focus on a data-centric, agent-less approach that respects user privacy."

Today, enterprises face challenges due to lack of encryption, tracking,and security of data in the devices which are not connected to the company's internal network. The current security solutions forces employees to install and run client software to get access to protected files and corporate emails. "The challenge is that the employee wants privacy and mobility," says Kausik. They want to protect their personal activity, like how they are using the phone and where are they located. Meanwhile, companies also need to secure their data."That is the problem we are solving," he says.
